Personal Notes:
These aren’t grandma’s dumplings, Grandma Mae’s anyway. This was my Grandma Lou’s recipe but has turned out to be a Shannon family favorite. They are delicious and so easy to make .When making them for the Shannon family I quadruple the recipe and use 2 whole chickens….that’s a lot of dumplings!
